Our take on There's Something About Mary

Peter Farrelly's 1998 romantic comedy builds its whole engine on humiliation and hopeless devotion: after a catastrophically bad prom night, Ted gets a second shot at his old date years later, only to find himself competing with rival suitors, including the sleazy detective he hired to track her down. It's the kind of gleefully crude, gag-driven comedy that pushes taste to its limits while keeping a sweet streak at its core. Fans of raunchy, outrageous humor and awkward-romance farce will be right at home; anyone put off by gross-out set pieces should steer clear. Best enjoyed with people who laugh loudly.
